Sarah Noble Ives (March 1864 – November 1944) was an American writer, illustrator, and historian known for her children's books including Dog Heroes of Many Lands and Songs of the Shining Way.

Her work also appeared in publications like the New York Herald Tribune, the Boston Globe,[1] and McClure's, sometimes under the name Noble Ives.

[3] When she returned to the United States she began work as a freelance author and illustrator in New York under the name "Noble Ives",[2] in line with other female artists of the time who hid their identity in various ways.

Songs of the Shining Way, written and illustrated by Ives, was published in 1899 and featured poems paired with black ink drawings.

[8] Ives created colorful illustrations for books like The Wonderful Story of Teddy the Bear, published by the McLoughlin Brothers, who often commissioned female artists.

[2] Original artwork by Ives can sometimes be found at auction,[12] in private collections and on display in museum exhibits.
